by American. residents of Madrid about the reported presence
in Spain of £. Howard Hunt in 1972.. My standard reply was.
that I knew: only what I had heard rumored: For the record,.

_ . I met with Sam Halpern for about 20° minutes this morning -
in GGl0, where he is cleaning ip some details before he goes to. ~
“.. his néw assignment as DC/DCD.. I told him generally about our
“attempt to reconstruct Howard Hunt's assignments and financial
transactions, and asked him particularly for recollections he may
"Rave of Hunt's assignment in Spain in mid-1965 to the fall of 1966. -

- 2, Halpern said that Hie has no recollection about such an
 aSsigament. In June 1965 he moved from WH Division with Des
FitzGerald when he became the DD/P.. At. about that time , Do, ;
Halpern's father died and he was ia New. York for the funeral ~° lobe
and ten days of religious observations following that.- He was back Se i .

-_ In mid-June and in and out from then on as he got ready to attend
’ the National War College which began in August. He did not: return
to, that office until the end of June 1966. . : Be,

can 3. Halpern observed that during this period Karamessines
” was ADDP, with Helms moving up to ‘be DDCI. He thought it entirely —
a ‘possible that Helms and Karamiessines could have handled this =~":

on their own.

"4. “Halpern said that Evan Packer had come inte thie office
of the. DD/P skortly before Helms ‘became DDCI, and had returned :
from Henolulu for that purpose, He stayed'on for FitzGerald until
Halpérn returned from the National War College: He suggésted |

, Someone might talk to Evan Parker who may have known something
abaut it (although he may not).. ‘He also suggested talking to Georgia.”

quested on the manuscripts before ‘submission’ to publishers. (He stated:
’ that this activity Continued later, as he recalls it, in CI Staff, and
azreed with idea that the volume of writings was sufficient to indicate :
that 4 great of time was involved in Hunt's writing, ).. Gen, Gaynor advised a, 3
that he raised the issue “up front": on several occasions, . The reaction :
“he recieved ta his raising the issue was that "keap your stinking noge out
